It wasn’t until the mid-1950s when Warhol completed a successful campaign for shoe retailer Miller \u0026amp; Sons, that he was finally granted widespread recognition for his renderings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"Omelet Greta Garbo\" is a delightful paradigm from this era. This whimsical lithograph with hand-colored elements is an output from Warhol's self-published cookbook, \"Wild Raspberries\", a collection of fanciful recipes and illustrations that satirize the extravagant gastronomy of the 1950s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe cookbook was an amusing collaboration between Warhol, his close friend Suzie Frankfurt, the author of the book, and his mother Julia Warhola, who brought the recipes to life with her iconic cursive calligraphy.

In recent years there has been new scholarship and commercial interest in these early works created prior to Pop Art. As the Warhol market continues to accelerate, there are fewer examples of unique original works in circulation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestions about this piece? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:troy@caviar20.com\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, call +1.416.704.1720, or\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/pages\/contact\"\u003evisit our Toronto Gallery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"Omelet Greta Garbo\" from Wild Raspberries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUSA, 1959\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOffset lithograph on paper with hand-coloring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSigned, lower right\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e17\"H 11\"W (sheet)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e22.5\"H 19.5\"W (framed)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOverall good condition.
